In my thesis work, I used pre-steady state kinetics combined with mutational and antibiotic analyses to study the molecular enzymology of the bacterial ribosome. I examined the molecular mechanisms used by the ribosome to catalyze peptide bond formation and peptide release, and also investigated the mechanisms underlying the exquisite specificity of peptide release. Thesis: “The role of ribosome functional centers in the catalysis and specificity of peptide bond formation and peptide release.”

Peptide release on the ribosome depends critically on the 2′ OH of the peptidyl–tRNA substrate
